CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all

sorry for this rather unspecific cry for help, but hopefully someone out there has a minute or two to help a guy out.

okay - so i got this site im working on regarding my hobby of 15th century reeenactment, so i figured ied make a site, that described my gear and my hobby and hold my trip photos.

so, yeah, i went for a "medievalish looking site" (you can check it out here: www.huskarl.dk) - it sorta works in Firefox - need some tweaking, but thats all okay, however, when i fire up Iexplorer its just sooo bugged to bits and i have no idea what so ever on why this is so and its not the same on every computer..

my mate´s girlfriend has a small laptop : it looks crap, submenu is inside the main content field and stuff like that (Iexplorer)
my laptop: looks sorta okay, however, the "top graphic" of the main content area has an transparent border (Iexploere - fine in Firefox)
my work PC: looks good in both
my PC: looks good in both

i can figure this is due to resolutions and something in Iexplorer (all of them using the newest version)

another problem is the top and bottom "site" border - im loosing too much space here, but i have no idea on what to look for to fix it.

obvious problems yeah i got those too, mainly my "main content area" where the background/paper - and yeah there likely a load of other things that "pro´s/semi pro´s" can spot that i cannot

anyways, thank your for your time

Cheers

Few changes I would do for div.maincontainer. Remove display:table and replace that with overflow:auto . Having floatable elements inside element with display:table will cause problems sooner or later. Also 600px + 200px + IE6 3px bug = more than 800px -> problems. So change it's width to 810px or something and IE6 will play nicer. Set margin for mainc_left_f and mainc_right_box to get things where they should be.

Hope this helps you further...

Thank you KO

never thought of using overflow at all 

however, this leads me to something else.

Overflow:auto = a scrollbar
a Scrollbar wont really fit the "theme" - i know it is possible to adjust the scrollbar
(
scrollbar3dLightColor 
scrollbarArrowColor
scrollbarBaseColor
scrollbarDarkShadowColor
scrollbarFaceColor
scrollbarHighlightColor
scrollbarShadowColor
scrollbarTrackColor
)

these should work in IE, but not in Firefox right?

is there any other options to edit it? flash? java?
